Captain Kiesel picspam, for [livejournal.com profile] alocin42, and to show how pretty David Warner was in Peckinpah's Cross of Iron (1977) even if he was a chain smoking soldier on the wrong side of the war complaining of diarrhoea.

And because i'm enjoying doing picspams. And captions. Yes.

Between Jix and Logjam, picspams have become quite easy to put together, halilujah. Linux rules again.




Hi, I'm Captain Kiesel. And I smoke a lot.


Cant believe i'm shaking this guy's hand, he just went for a piss outside!


Pass the booze, quick.


I've got fucking diarrhoea and Peckinpah made me tell the world about it.


That horse's ass is so after the Iron Cross.


There i go, smoking again.


You dont believe that bullshit, do you sir?


Stransky's full of shit, sir.


Ooh, Brandt, gi' us a kiss, luv.


Hail Hitler.


Waiter, there's a hair in my soup. Again.


I cant think with you talking on the phone all the time, you're such a gossip.


I hate to be the bearer of bad news...


Eww, that's gross.


I swear its true. Stransky's only here to get the Iron Cross, he said so himself.


Damnit Stransky, quit being a chickenshit and lead your men!


What do you mean you never even left the bunker? You great big horse's ass!


These papers are all lies, sir. Damned lies and statistics.


Stransky's lies drive me to smoke, yes.


You mean i'm only in a tiny portion of this film and only named near the end of the credits? Damn it Peckinpah!


I salute you, you horse's ass.


I have a great profile, don't I?


Yeah i know, the gratuitous violence, blood, and guts everywhere in this film tops Straw Dogs by far.


Ok so Peckinpah makes gory movies. Except Ballad of Cable Hogue, that was just plain weird. A Western with an Englishman in it - what was Sam thinking?


So i'll just sulk for a while.


And smoke some more.


I know deep down that we're losing the war and we're all going to die.


Look, my face is dirty, but i get to go home now, and help rebuild Germany.


What the fuck? You're sending me home? I dont know whether to laugh or cry.


One last look, before i toss the fag to the ground and leap into the motorcycle sidecar.


And have a John Denver moment, singing 'Country roads, take me home, to the place i belong....'



That's the end of my picspammage. Hope everyone enjoyed. Take caps as you wish and do whatever you like. I prefer drooling actually. :D

Hehe! I think it's the combination of uniform and subble-y beard along with "what's a comb?" hair. It's a good look...

His hair's also darker than it usually is, and i think it suits him darker, as much as blond/gingerish does.

The film was quality enough to pick up his blue eyes - a lot of early 70s stuff havent withstood the test of time very well, and subtle things like eye colour get lost in the dull greens and browns of the era...

Numerous films i've thought his eyes were green just because the celluloid itself was rubbish, but his eyes are actually quite blue.

Not dark blue like PDs, which are clearly blue in Fear Stress and Anger, but a light icechip blue, more like my own.

I've lightened and brightened this cap from The Omen as much as i dare without ruining it, yet his eyes look green.

They are definitely not green, they are blue, unless they changed from movie to movie, heh. The Omen's as old as i am (!!) - 1976, and the celluliod from those days just didn't maintain its colouring like it should do. So many of the pics my parents had taken, even professionally, of me as a baby/kid have turned orange/red in just 31 years...

And yet, look at this cap, cleaned up slightly and the lighting tinkered with, from Cross of Iron - those are baby blues, not greens.

And here in The Thirty Nine Steps (1977), same year as Cross of Iron, they're definitely unmistakably blue.

DW eye colour picspam time? ;)

I never trust eye colour unless I'm about two inches away from someone's nose, in daylight, and staring right at them in a hypnotisy fashion. But that tends to disturb people slightly so I can't do it too often...

My baby pics are mid 80's and they still have an orangey tinge too! I quite like it, it makes everything look all warm and summery. And these days retro and fashionable as well I expect.

Its difficult to tell. There's some caps from Total Recall where they are so bright blue its stunning. Must be the lighting.

I dont tend to get that close to people - they might bite me!

Yes, those faded orange pics of the mid 70s... bring back memories, yes.

He smokes a lot in the Omen too, when he's developing film. I'm capping it now, minus swedish subs! YAYZ.
